NOTE: The original review was published in Norwegian and can be found at http://www.merlinprog.com/england.htm. We used the Google translation engine to produce the English.

In line with Stone Premotions best songs we are here at the disc number two, and this time there are seventeen songs and then one more than the previous disc. Now there are four different artists and the first four songs are from the album "Wrap Me In Your Skin" from 1998 by Terri B. She mentioned we duly Volume 1, and her voice is of course also here really seductive, controlled and beautiful. Volume 2 is an album that goes a long way into the psychedelic woods, and thus differs somewhat from Volume 1 Terri B. is also co-founder of Stone Premonition Record Label and responsible for all the cover art in Stone Premonition. "Wrap Me In Your Skin" is Terri B's first solo album, and is a little enigmatic disc. The four songs we have here are all written with Tim Jones and is commercially acceptable, but also anyone who likes låtorientert melodic psychedelic music to applaud. The funky vibe of "Girl Power" and the gorgeous keyboard lines and wailing guitar brings the active hand clapping from us. Song 5 through 8 are from Rabbit Hat's album "The Sun Broke Through" who, like Terri B. 's discussed solo album came in 1998. All four songs are excellent examples of the band's talent that we praise have discussed earlier. The next five tracks are taken from Tim Jones's album "666 +!" From 1999. On the fine and intense small industrial song "The Rhythm Of Madness" is abundant with samplers and electronics capabilities in the studio features used for all it's worth. "Infra Red" is a song full of atmosphere and an underlying mystical vibes and an unmistakable psychedelic slope. The song loses some punch out and then comes "Glory" sailing and addresses this with its infectious rhythm and good, attractive and functional ideas. The song is tight and full of momentum with tasteful use of horns served as should certainly this was a tune for various radio stations to make up for all the mediokre (at best) that pop up there. Dim and soft starts the story of Geoffrey where Tim Jones shows that he really can feel the vocal. The best tasting "The Warmth of Love", which is sharp shod, and with a subtle edge and winding and turning like a drizzle and crazy snake. A song packed with incident and passionate music-making that has constant progress but often with some excursions in psykskauen. In the last four songs are the Body Full Of Stars and the album "Welcome", which is a supplier of music. Here is the rhythmic reasonably central and ballet opens with the funky song "Welcome". In order to emphasize that it is the rhythmic aspect that is in focus is also on the CD cover adorned with this statement, "Aka The Rhythm Methodist." It does not prevent the guitars from the rail and there is a lot of snacks in this respect in the aforementioned "Welcome", and generally it is much instrumental fyrighet, interaction and exuberance to be found here. The songs are well written and is different from a lot of other quality music like a shot from the first listen. Mark Dunn has been responsible for most of the songs and also produced the original album. With him he has known and loved musicians paddies Addison, Tim Jones, Terri B. and Martin Holder. In addition, it appears here, two musicians we have not heard so much about, namely Yazuko Fukuoka on Hammond organ and Paul Ellis on keyboards. They are certainly with and contribute to the band of musicians are inspired and virtually play each other even better. In sum, NOK a compilation of Stone premonitions that are well each to acquire simply because it is chock full of good and great music.
